Have an Intel Mac? What to do with that PPC Binary (and visa versa)

I just came across an app called "Xslimmer"
What it does is in Universal applications, it gets rid of the binary your computer does not need. Say you have an Intel mac and you download Google Earth, well it's 100mb file (50mb for PPC binary and 50mb for Intel binary). Well Xslimmer deletes the PPC binary and keeps the Intel binary, so the application file size is reduced, and the app also loads faster! Visa versa for a PPC mac (it'll delete the Intel binary).
Just a little share =]

Only if they could bottle it up and help some people SLIM down a bit!
Looks interesting, might give it a try, but my 17" iMac duo-core is a slim one already, compared to the 20" iMac.
THANX!
